NFPA urges communities to get involved with the Put a Freeze on Winter Fires campaign

The United State Fire Administration
(USFA) and NFPA are working together to
remind everyone that home fires are more prevalent in winter than in any other
season. This is due in part to an increase in cooking and heating fires.
Holiday decorations and winter storms that can interrupt electrical service,
and cause people to turn to alternative heating sources also contribute to the
increased risk of fire in winter.

As you may have already heard, NFPA has launched its Put a Freeze
on Winter Fire Campaign, and you can help keep your house and your community
safe this winter! NFPA has prepared a toolkit that you can use to conduct a
heating safety campaign in your community. The toolkit has a multitude of resources
including downloadable press releases, letters to the editor, op/eds, print
ads, easy-to-read flyers for residents in both English and Spanish, facts about
heating fires, safety tips and more.

Winter fires can be prevented and our
best defense against home heating is education. NFPA is counting on your help
to spread the word and Put a Freeze on Winter Fires!
